My adventures (and misadventures) in sewing

So I got it in my head a while back that I was going to make a bag for my hockey skates. Currently I just throw them in a basket in my car, but I wanted to make a cute bag to carry them in. One of my skating friends had this awesome fold-over bag that I thought looked pretty easy to make so here we go!

Since I’m making this one for a baby boy I thought an argyle pattern would be super cute. I found out what they were painting a shelf for his room in blue and orange, so I decided on this color scheme that turned out to really pop. I think it turned out super cute.

What would be a better first post for my new blog than a quilt that has a patchwork heart?? One with four patchwork hearts!

I wanted to make a quilt for my new niece and I love patchy hearts for a little girl’s quilt. So, I started browsing pinterest & came across an adorable quilt that inspired my design. I went through many phases of what exactly I wanted it to look like, eventually ended up with this. It’s a 40 x 40 quilt with 2″ sewn squares.
